Best Fade For Straight Hair (2025 Updated)

I had been using a travel sized one setting hair straightener, and I had basically giving up on doing anything with my hair. I finally decided to get a full size straightener and did some research. I didn’t have a huge budget, and I read all the reviews on the similarly and slightly higher priced ones.

I was nervous, as a reviews mentioned a bad smell. The first time I used it, I did a couple passes while my hair was still a bit damp and I immediately smelled what others had mentioned. I waited a while and tried again with dry hair.

NO SMELL! It worked wonderfully on my long thick poofy hair. It was easy and painless! I am in LOVE with this product! 10/10, would buy again.

I have very curly thick hair and it is not easy to straighten. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Revlon Extra Long Ceramic Flat Iron straightened my hair. Its light weight and my hand does not get tired during the process.

It also has several different heat settings, which is important for curly hair. My hair type requires a very hot flat iron to get all the curls out. Their is minimal hair loss from pulled hair, which is inevitable.

Overall this is a great product and I highly recommend for long curly hair. It works well for me and keeps my hair straight until I wash it out.

This flat iron is amazing. It is very lightweight so it’s easy to take anywhere with you. It heats up quickly and is easy to use. I love the different heat settings so I can adjust it depending on what I need to do to my hair.

My hair was left smooth and there was no frizz or damage from the heat. It has an automatic shut off which is great. Many times I am in a rush and worry that I left things on. Now I am more at ease knowing it will shut itself off if I forget.

I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants an easy to use straightener that will leave their hair looking perfect.

I really wanted to like this flat iron and tried for several months, but alas I’m tossing it in the donations pile. I’ll start by saying that I have pretty naturally coarse and frizzy hair. I use really good shampoo and styling products, even a thermal spray that I used with this flat iron.

And while it would initially take the frizz out of my hair, like I expect a flat iron to do, it was never enough to last the day – even on the highest temperature setting (which I hated using, but attempted anyway just for lasting results).

My hair always turned frizzy again within minutes, which really isn’t common for me unless I’m walking out into humid conditions. None the less, I’m not impressed with this flat iron at all.

This straightener has been fantastic. I’ve had it for over a year now and it always delivers excellent results. I have extremely thick, wavy/curly hair that is fairly long (reaches a little longer than halfway down my back) and I can curl my dry hair in about 25 minutes or less.

The only thing that stinks about using a straightener to curl your hair is when you hold the straightener in one spot for too long and get a little bit of a crease. Other than that, I highly recommend for both straight and curly styles.

I would absolutely purchase this product again. .

I got this product because it was on sale at Target and I desperately needed a new straighter. My hair gets super tangled and frizzy since I’ve dyed it light/blonde. Honestly, I’m kinda glad my previous straightener broke.

This straighter was GREAT. It was so easy to straighten my hair and I literally only passed the iron through each strand once and my hair was perfectly straight. I also noticed that my hair looks much more shiny than it does with other straighteners.

My hair feels very silky and looks great. Definitely recommend.

this is the worst shampoo I have ever used. it made my hair extremely dry and made my scalp so dry it started flaking and itching. I’ve used Garnier Fructis color shield for a number of years and absolutely love it.

recently when I had a few more blonde highlights added to my current hair color my stylus recommended a sulfate-free shampoo. I found this one and so I bought it period after using it two weeks I kept noticing my hair was so dry I could not even run a brush through it when it was wet because it was so dry and it would tangle so badly.

This is after using the L’Oreal deep nourish conditioner that is also sulfate-free. I finally went back to Garnier fructis color shield and my hair is as soft and conditioned as it always was. please do not waste your money on this product as it is terrible and will dry out your hair and scalp!!.

I recently had my hair done by a friend who used hair bleach and a few other things on my hair and I am scared to not maintain it properly. I asked her for tips on what to use on my hair and she recommended this shampoo and also the conditioner that goes with it.

I used it a few times already and on my 9 year old who also got her hair done same day as me and it really works. I am impressed with how it keeps my hair looking the same as when i first got it done.

It doesn’t dry it up nor does your hair color change in tone. I highly recommend it and will keep using it.

I received this product free from influenster in trade for my honest review. I wanted to wait to give this product a try because I knew I was going to get my hair touched up soon so if I was really going to test out how the product worked on colored hair I thought the best time would be right when the color was fresh!I have naturally straight dirty blonde hair, and right now what I’ve been doing with it is sort of a play on a balayage, with my natural color mostly near the roots and it’s just sort of blended with highlights as you get farther down my hair.

Anyways, on to the shampoo!The first thing I noticed when first trying the product (beyond the packaging) was the color. This is one of those purple shampoos that seem to be gaining trend as they are supposed to be great for dyed hair or gray hair to prevent the sort of brassiness that comes along with that.

This wasn’t as deep a purple as I’ve been in other shampoos of this kind but more of a light purple color. The second thing of notice is the smell. I was torn throughout my trial of this product about the smell, teetering between liking it and not loving it so much.

It’s a floral smell but also mixed with sort of a musky smell. I couldn’t tell if I liked the sort of girly mixed with manly smell or if I was off put by it. And it was definitely a stronger/longer lasting smell than my regular shampoo.

I actually liked that though. I liked getting a little whiff of musk the next day sometimes. The shampoo did not get extremely sudsy, but that doesn’t bother me, there was still a little bubbling which I liked.

I did feel the shampoo gave me a nice clean. I would always follow it up with the associated conditioner. Without doing a side by side trial it is hard for me to speak on how this shampoo stacks up in terms of color preservation against my regular shampoo, but I can say this shampoo did a good job of maintaining my color! I am still very happy with the color and it has been about a month since I got it done.

The one negative I can say is that I do think it might make my hair just a touch more greasy than my normal shampoo, but honestly it’s not really bad, it’s just something I noticed. Overall this was a good shampoo! I was happy with the smell most of the time, and I think it did a good job for cleanliness and maintaining color.

I gave it 4 stars because of the touch of greasiness it seemed to add to my hair and it just wasn’t to be a 5 star product. It was a solid pick up for sure but not anything I would rant and rave about.

No outer package of this set. Straightener was made in Japan while neutralizer was a product od Thailand. I don’t know whether they come from one set. And also, I could not get any information on its expire date.

However, this product worked. My hair get straighten after using it.

It is not a real Japanese straightening but a relaxer / hair removal cream. The smell of my shaving cream is exactly the same. I had to cut half of my hair after using these products. Don’t waste your money buying this product, your hair will thank you for it.

This is heaven sent. I don’t have a really curly hair or whatnot, I just wanted my hair to be more tamed, since it tends to be too poofy when dry. This definitely did the trick. I love how my hair turned out.

For anyone wanting to try this, be really careful and know your hairs health.

GREAT LOVE IT!! always use this! recommend to anyone wouldn’t change a thing about this product! great company and great products! it’s a 10 out of 10 for me! always trust this company not a bad word to say about them! :).

This product worked really well! The only drawback is that it smells bad (as most perm products do, so that’s to be expected). I definitely recommend opening a window or two while applying this. It left my hair really shiny, soft and straight, so I’m super happy with it :).

AG everything! I will forever use AG products for my hair. They leave my hair soft, smooth and shiny. My hair never looks greasy or oily after use of these products. I highly recommend them, tried most all of their hair are line-up.

The purple shampoo is a winner too.

I used a small amount. One pump. I have a Gold Tools round brush dryer (the smaller one). I started on low heat and my hair went dry looking and frizzy immediately! Tried smoothing it a bit more, but it just didn’t look nice.

I ended up using my GHD straighteners and a bit of Rusk shine to smooth it. There doesn’t seem to be any build-up and it feels light, but I don’t like the smell (very weird) and was hoping to be able to just use a blow dryer for straightening.

I bought their Colour Shampoo/Conditioner and Mask which are all lovely, but I was a bit shocked when I used this! I’ll return it when the stores open again.

I bought this for straightening my hair, but it didn’t have enough moisture for that. One day in a pinch I used this in an effort to tame and smooth my curls AFTER I dried my hair. and it was fabulous! No buildup and no grease.

just smooth curls. I know staff said do not use on dry hair. but this is awesome for me! Love it. Have a bottle of it at home and one in my desk in the office. I use this. lightly pull through curls.

wait till it dries and squeeze with a paper towel to take off the wet/shiny look. and voila. smooth frizz free curls. it even reactivates with water for a touch up. Love this product.

This is the first time I’ve ever used this product. I’m not sure if I like the results. I’ve never permed my hair. I don’t like the way it feels. It made my hair feel brittle. (Kind of straw like) I will not be using it again.

I guess it’s just a preference.

purchased this kit few months back. when i shampooed chemical creme out in the shower, felt burning on my skin – some NEUTRALIZING SHAMPOO dripped down. wary but had no choice as i had to rinse ALL relaxer creme out.

afterward i noticed strands of tresses going down shower drain! as i combed my hair to apply on hair rollers, i noticed my excess hair on comb. after hair dried via room temperature [haven’t used heating appliances in over FIFTEEN YEARS!] more hair than usual in my brush! i reported to manufacturer STRENGTH OF NATURE GLOBAL,, LLC who didn’t respond.

subsequently, i reported claim with BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU but this UNCONSCIONABLE outfit did not respond! in fact, its rep tried to contact me directly knowing BBB was my MEDIATOR in claim!! obviating that they didn’t want negative publicity ! and CONSUMER COMPLAINT did not get a response either.

to date, one side of my hair is seriously damaged and now i’m shopping for a corrective [ for hair damage] hair product to UNDO what OLIVE MIRACLE RELAXER did!!! I VOW TO NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE ANYTHING IN THIS/THE ‘AP’ LINE! BE WARNED!.

What I dislike is that it didn’t give me the option to choose between regular and super strength. It wasn’t until after I relaxed my hair that I realized I just put super in my fine thin hair. But thank God it turned out well.

My hair is silky smooth and shiny. I love the texture of my hair now. I think I will stay with African Pride products for a while. They work well and smell delicious.

I received this item in the second to last week of December 2021 and since then, have been using the item on my hair close to daily. My hair type is thin/fine, somewhere between straight and slightly wavy or so depending on whether it is air/naturally or heat dried or styled.

I feel that overall, this is an item that worked very well for my hair type consistently and so if you have a similar hair type to mine, I would feel comfortable recommending this product in terms of overall quality shown over time.

I do not feel it did much to either enhance or change my hair type or shape, which was not particularly my goal with using this item in any case, though I did feel it worked very well in terms of cleansing my hair thoroughly without over drying it.

I would describe myself as having ‘combination hair’ (think of in comparison, combination skin), in the sense that my hair is generally regular to oily near the roots to mid length throughout the day and increasingly so throughout the day til cleansed, yet drier and more brittle and prone to breakage near the tips or ends.

This is a product that I truly feel worked well for all areas of my hair each time I have used it so far. I will note that I would strongly suggest when using this product, make sure that you have taken care to thoroughly work the product into your hair; for me it has by far worked best for me to leave it in my hair for a minute or so and *then* rinse (as opposed to rinsing immediately).

Provided you follow this one small suggestion, I feel this is a product that is likely to work well for you if you have a similar to myself. I will mention as well that my hair is currently bleached and repeatedly color treated and while this item did not necessarily prolong the longevity of my hair color, it equally did not deteriorate my color rapidly.

Again, in terms of overall quality, this is a product I would feel happy and nonhesitant to recommend to others with a similar current hair situation and qualities.

Not the greatest quality. I didn’t expect a lot but Certainly was surprised with the quality of the product. It’s most definitely not what I expected. which says a lot considering the fact that I had no high expectations whatsoever.

It gets the job done. not fast enough, but it gets it done. It also smells weird. i bought a few months ago. Not even a year old. I saw a review that said “as good as Chi” on here so I bought it. It was a lie, It’s not as good as Chi.

It’s not good at all at least not for the price. But I do like the color and it how it looks. 1 star for color, 1 star for looks 👌🏼👏🏼.

I’ve been straightening my hair for over 10 years and have gone through a lot of flat irons. I would skip this one. I read the reviews for purchasing, and I should’ve listened. As a flat iron, it’s just okay.

It does take multiple passes to straighten as others have stated. I have moderately wavy to curly hair, so nothing too crazy, and it does a mediocre job. This does pull at my hair, which results in fall out.

The temp controls are the best I’ve ever across since it allows you to choose basically any heat setting, which is awesome. That isn’t enough to make this straightener worth the purchase though. Definitely skip this and look for a better reviewed flat iron.

I will be returning this one.

I bought this set for traveling and I wish the bag was a little bit bigger! All the products are great and I love that the dry shampoo is bigger than the normal travel size, but still not too big you can’t carry it on.

The clips are good quality as well!.

This is a great travel set with the best products. It’s given me a chance to try out a bunch of their best sellers. Now I feel like I’m ready for a vacation! The bag and clips are also excellent quality.

I have heard about how good Amika was from hair stylist and friends. I wanted to try their products and didn’t know where to start and this is what got me HOOKED. I just ordered the closer and the detangler because they were sooo good!!.

I bought Goldwell stylesign Just Smooth Control 200ml from my local Hairhouse Warehouse, it was recommended to a family member by their experienced and talented hairdresser, at a local well established hairdresser salon.

I tried this product, a smoothing blow dry spray, it is really a great product, it does state on the ingredients list, next to the sticker, with the name and details of the that hair dresser salon, that it contains hydrolyzed wheat protein.

I worked in a few pharmacies, because of this experience and my previous study at university, I know that hair is made up structures including keratin, a complex protein, amino acids and protein can repair and reduce split ends, naturally and effectively.

This amazing product also contains other natural ingredients such as Bamboo shoot extract as well as Castor oil. I highly this amazing.

This product is a balm which i didn’t know as usually prefer a spray but in saying that its great. It doesn’t leave any greasiness or weigh my fine naturally wavy hair down. Its quick drying leaves my hair straight and smooth after blow drying.

I only need to straighten a few curly bits underneath. Also use goldwell just smooth shampoo etc products.

I really, like this brush. Gentle on my hair. Although I thought the firm side was going to be firmer than it actually is. It is on the softer side.

This brush allows me to brush my toddler’s thin hair without her even noticing.

When I smell this chamomile scent, it calms me and elevates my mood. It’s like being at a spa. The shampoo is luxurious, makes my hair soft and shiny. The ingredience is off pure & natural origin that does not make my scalp itch.

I can wait 2-3 days to wash my hair, because it doesn’t leave a build up layer. It is clean & light, doesn’t weigh my hair down. But the scent is oh so wonderful!!! I also really really love the Rosemary & Herbs.

Herbal Essence sure knows the nature of botanicals, and quality & beauty!!!!! Been using this since I was a teenager. & I was born in 1966!!! Love love love your products!!!! Thank you!!!.

I bought this particular Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner to help preserve my newly colored hair. I already use a product that is color safe but I wanted to try something new. The Herbal Essence Honey Vitamin B shampoo has a really weird scent, like a used cooking oil smell.

My hair didn’t feel clean like it should after a fresh shampoo. The conditioner has a lighter, more pleasant scent. My hair felt soft and silky after blow drying it, however the next day it starting feeling limp and a little greasy.

I have thick, normal type hair, neither oily nor dry. I may give this shampoo and conditioner another chance but I will probably stay with my current color shield products.

Ok…the smell is amazing which is #1 reason I buy this! It does leave a shine for a day or two. Cost is affordable and available everywhere. Cons…it dries my hair out pretty bad. It strips my dyed color pretty quick.

Definitely will continue to use randomly but an every day shampoo. I would recommend using the conditioner with this (increase the smell and hair texture-softness).

Love love love this tool! By far the best brush straightener out there. I bought the first gen brush straightener from HeadKandy and loved it. I happened to get a free one from a competitor and while it is a great product too, it’s just can’t compete with the HeadKandy product.

I gave my bestie the OG and was stuck with the competitors for a while (I know I know). I couldn’t take it any longer and I bought the One Upper to replace the OG I gifted. I am now complete again in my straightening needs and have now gifted the competitors to another friend who is just not sure about the brush straighteners in general.

I have made sure to tell them of they end up enjoying the tool to UPGRADE to the One Upper! 😉.

Merry Christmas to me! I just received my products today and so far tried the above and love them all! I also purchased the commitment issues, but haven’t tried that as of yet. I will post about that product when I do.

I am sure that will be as awesome as the One Upper. Not only are the products awesome, but Kayla is just as equally amazing. Not sure how she balances all that she does. She manages to respond personally to each and everyone’s questions within a timely manner, yet balance her day to day business.

She has an amazing team who was able to deliver my products to me by Saturday, and I placed my order late Wednesday evening. I think that is AMAZING!!!! #satisfiedcustomer Happy Holidays everyone!.

Sadly I haven’t received my one upper yet. This is my second purchase because I absolutely LOVE the product! I have very frizzy thick thick red hair and it has always taken an hour to straighten it. Not anymore! with this amazing tool it takes about 10/15 minutes! My issue is shipping time sadly it said it would be about 5/7 days and it’s been over two weeks.

I will say the rep helping me track it from your customer service has been AMAZING! Her name is Shelby I believe she has been very kind with responding to my emails. I appreciate her communication.

I was really excited to try a curling wand because I’d only ever curled my hair with curling irons. Initially I was skeptical about how easy it would be since there is no clamp, but I was relieved to see the heat glove included.

I figured that would allow me to wrap my hair around the rod and hold it for a nice silky curl. Well things didn’t go as planned. For those who know about texture categories, my natural hair is in the 3B-3C range, so it’s really curly.

Before using the wand, I quickly blew my hair out- not to make it straight, just easier to maneuver around the wand. But even doing that, it was still a struggle to get a decent curl with the wand. I had to have it on the highest setting because I have very textured hair, so the thing was hot and that heat glove wasn’t much protection (I didn’t even have my hand close to the wand).

Then there was the constant worry that I might accidentally graze my wrist with the wand as I wrapped my hair around it. It didn’t feel ergonomic and I used both hands to see which felt better and it felt awkward in both.

I never got a nice looking curl and since you have to hold the end of your hair with your gloved hand, the ends never get curled (nor straightened in my case). Also, if you have textured hair, you obviously want to get close to your roots, edges, and nape of neck.

But with this wand doesn’t make it easy. Not like using a curling iron. I decided this product just isn’t for me. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it does indeed get hot for those who need/want high heat.

I have long straight hair and this is the first wand I’ve used. It didn’t quite work I could make a few curls but they just fell out and wouldn’t hold for the rest of the day. I suppose it could be the technique I was trying to use.

I feel a traditional curling iron is much easier. This has some nice features though. Includes a glove so you don’t burn yourself. The temperature can be changed. It heats up fast. The plated pain seems high quality and it shouldn’t chip.

This is the first time using a Remington curling iron. I’ve actually had the same curling iron for 20+ years and was reluctant giving it up but I’m glad I did. The curling iron heats up very fast and has several heating settings.

I like how it doesn’t pull my hair like my other iron did. My hair doesn’t curl easily but once I turned up the heat on this one it curled perfectly! I was even able to curl my daughter’s hair for her homecoming dance in half the time it usually takes me! I would definitely recommend this product!.

Function of Beauty Straight Base Conditioner is sold as a Customizable product that is enhanced by adding between 1 and 3 “booster shots” to the bottle for specific desired effects like strengthening, volumizing, extra conditioning etc.

The boosters are sold separately but can be added to any of their formulated shampoos or conditioners by simply removing the plastic insert from the main bottle, pouring contents of booster in the bottle and shaking vigorously.

The process is simple but there are no instructions on the bottles so I was confused about whether to remove the plastic insert (and made a small mess of it) mostly because I don’t understand the purpose of the small, inverted, plastic-like thimble to begin with.

I found the scent to be fruity and somewhat pleasant but I picked up on peach notes and honestly don’t care for the notes. I sincerely hope my 6+ years with Influenster are not negatively effected by these reviews but after experiencing negative effects from only one use combined with my research, I hope this helps everyone else who has been questioning whether to use these products.

I will warn everyone this review will be lengthy and focused on the issues and rumours surrounding these products but a lot of chemistry and biology will be referenced in order to properly explain my experience and to assist anyone questioning these item or the ingredients themselves as they are found in other products from other makeup and hair care down to pesticides and antifreeze.

Basically- skip reading if you aren’t interested in the reasons why people have /have not experienced hair loss, irritation, allergic reactions when using this particular product. I hope it does not effect my status here but this information can be used for researching other products containing the mentioned ingredients.

I want to be clear I was overwhelmingly excited about a haircare voxbox and was surprised when it arrived. However I am trepidatious when a brand statement claims “95% naturally derived and 100% vegan ingredients” when the second ingredient is Cetyl Alcohol (ingredients are listed beginning with whichever has makes up the largest percentage of the product and reads down from there.

So reading this ingredient list when broken in to percentages, water is number 1, Cetyl Alcohol is 2nd, 3rd is Behentrimonium Chloride and 4th and 5th are Behenyl then Cetearyl Alcohols. Aside from H2O, the other top four ingredients are derived from natural ingredients but created synthetically (already breaking the 95% rule so I am going tonsave time and space by noting (SYN) beside mentioned ingredients if they are synthetic and am happy to answer any specific questions.

When researching pst my understanding of these chemicals I referenced compiled lists for both the United States and Europe and found that 8 of 12 of the most toxic ingredients to avoid in shampoos/conditioners are in this product some in more than one form (certain synthetic fragrances detailed in a moment, Polyethelene Glycol /PEG’s, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone(s), Behentrimonium Chloride, Green-5 combined with Violet-2, Quats) as well as 5 of the “6 top hidden ingredients that MAY be causing hair loss and breakage” including multiple forms of some of these (Sodium Chloride, parabens(SYN), DEA’s (SYN), alcohols (SYN) and Propylene Glycol(SYN)), and the European Union’s List of 26 Fagrance Allergens (developed by the S.

G. G. S. ) has at least 4 additional ingredients listed that are found in this conditioner; Citral, Citronellol, Limonene and Linalool. These are a lot of names and lists and any decent scientist or statistician will tell you there can be benefits for these ingredients or why would anyone use them? In addition, studies and lists are often formulated by whom benefits from them- this is why I looked for the most Objective documents from government agencies as well as chemical and skinsafe sites.

The slightly confusing part is there are some great natural ingredients inside such as diheptyl succinate and capryloyl glycerin/sebacic acid copolymer that when used together have the benefits and none of the toxicity of the dimethicones; yet this conditioner uses the good duo and as well as multiple DEA’s (SYN).

If you simply look up the negative ingredients you will find a plethora of detail including what said chemical does for cosmetic use as well as it’s potential for and causation of harm to animals and humans, especially anyone with sensitive skin, skin conditions like psoriasis/eczema or areas of broken skin whether from something like and injury or a tattoo.

This is why I ask you to evaluate for yourself because the number 2 ingredient, Cetyl Alcohol and it’s close relative at number 5, Cetearyl Alcohol may not be immediately toxic (but some people do have allergies to these ingredients) but their purpose is to hydrate by emulsifying and they are so good at their jobs if not removed by using a clarifying shampoo they will begin to build up, weigh down and eventually cause breakage and what often appears to be a great amount of hair loss.

The lesson again is to self-educate based on suggestions like these and decide what works for you. One idea is to compare ingredients from products that have provided great results and look for something similar and maybe even add in a small way to improve them.

I’d like to give one more example of this type of ingredient in order to articulate the point better. This conditioner contains more than one form of glycerin but actually lists “Glycerin” alone. Glycerin is derived from various oils but is actually a sugar alcohol that looks a lot like fat.

It is most beneficial for thick, curly or “frizzy” hair as opposed to fine, straight hair. I wouldn’t expect it in the straight base conditioner based on this knowledge until I thought about the fatty acids that help prevent hair breakage- so perhaps it was added for those of us with damaged hair.

Overall glycerin is a “humectant” meaning it can take moisture from the air and ‘pull’ it to it’s location whether it is in a hair product, lotion etc. So these are simple base facts but what must be considered is that glycerin is extremely volatile (not explosive but with potency) and is based on external factors like temperature and humidity and as with most chemical reactions they can be reversed.

In essence if you live in a hot, dry, arid locale glycerin may actually pull moisture from your hair and put it in the atmosphere and if you live in a hot, humid beach community like me, Glycerin can draw excess moisture in to hair causing it to appear overly puffed, fluffy, frizzy or otherwise unruly.

As it is I don’t know this will even let me post so I feel I need to stop here and pick up with the shampoo but am happy to answer questions and give references for anything I wrote, claimed or mentioned without a formal citation.

I also have the list of ingredients I am going tonpost as an image and can later highlight those to be watched. Lastly, I do not recommend this conditioner for others with fine, straight hair looking for volume, colour protection and preventing damage.

I received a set of two #hairgoal booster shots plus the shampoo and conditioner for straight hair complimentary from Influenster and Function of Beauty in exchange for my honest review. I was initially quite skeptical of Function of Beauty after seeing it on social media the last few years, especially for the cost.

These particular products are from the Function of Beauty collection available at Target, which is more affordable (though less customizable). I used the shampoo and conditioner on their own for two weeks before mixing in my booster shots.

I was very impressed with both before adding the booster shots, and I’m even more impressed after adding them in. I have medium-length, dyed hair that is quite straight and fine. My main issues with my hair and scalp are dryness/flakiness, breakage/hair loss on the brush and in the shower, and trying to reduce color stripping.

I have noticed reduced dryness/flakiness and breakage as I’ve continued using the whole set. This is a great light but still moisturizing conditioner formula that doesn’t weight my fine hair down. It has plenty of slip and my hair feels so soft after rinsing it out.

Depending on how my scalp is feeling, there are days I will only use the conditioner (no shampoo) on my hair to give it an extra boost of hydration—no worries, I can do this on really clean, second day hair.

I love the use of natural extracts in the formula, such as apple extract, coconut water, and avocado oil. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell like apple, which is one of my favorite scents. Also, all of the main products are $10 and the booster shots are $3 which makes my budget very happy.

I’m excited to continue using Function of Beauty long-term as I feel my hair is more healthy and hydrated, and my dry, flaky scalp seems to be calming down more and more with each use. Overall absolutely recommend and would repurchase—I’m even considering purchasing the more expensive, customized Function of Beauty products after I finish up my Target collection products.

I was so lucky to receive some @functionofbeauty products from @influenster free for review purposes. Here are my thoughts 💭 How does it work: Function of beauty allows you to customize your hair care products by taking a quiz about your hair concerns.

Once you are product matched, you also have the ability to add boosters to your base products. You should know: Cruelty Free, Vegan, Sulfate Free, Paraben Free, Clean, Sustainable and Recyclable. Straight Hair Mask – the base product on this smells absolutely amazing without artificial fragrance and is enhanced with seaweed extract, watermelon seed oil and meadowfoam seed oil.

It is supposed to hydrate while leaving your hair silky and straight. I decided to give the base a try without any of the #hairgoals booster. I loved the feel of my hair but found it was lacking hydration and was very flyaway.

You can add up to three additional boosters to the base and I used the deep condition and strength boosters. These made the world of difference and truly gave my hair that healthy shine. I do not prefer this type of product container because it is not very convenient for use in the shower but does allow you to get all of the product out of the container.

Leave-In Milk Mist: This utilizes an aloe base. I tried this without the booster and loved the scent but not the product in my hair. I put in the condition and strengthen booster #hairgoals and loved the results.

This made my hair soft and shiny without weighing it down. The product does have a natural fruit scent and I found that the light scent lingered in my hair through the day. Boosters: These are ingeniously packaged and smelled so natural and delicious (like fresh apples).

Strengthen is to help keep hair resilient, in crease elasticity and reduce future breakage. Deep Condition is made to moisturize and heal damage from chemical and heat styling. Cost: Base product $9.

99 and booster (pack of two shots) $2. 99 Available on Target. com Recommendation: Buy. This is an excellent way to find your perfect hair products formulated with clean and sustainable practices. #FunctionXTarget #complimentary @functionofbeauty @Influenster.

This new product does nothing but dry your hair out! When I brush my hair it comes out in clumps! My hair was on my shoulders and after using this shea moisture relaxer, my hair us at my ears! My hair will NOT stay moisturized! Not with the products that are supposed to be used as aftercare or just plain hair cream.

My hair looks dinghy and dull! The only product that grew my hair and maintained the healthy look and shine, was the healthy gloss 5 product line. So if it wasn’t broken, why did you try to fix it. I say bring back the healthy gloss 5 with satin oil product line and you will really have some grateful customers.

The healthy gloss 5 with satin oil moisture hair cream,shampoo and conditioner was EVERYTHING!.

I’m going to say something that I know you guys were obviously probably not admit. I have been using Dark and Lovely perm relaxer for over 25 years. I noticed that the Dark & Lovely perm relaxer has a different-looking box.

I was hesitant to buy it at first. When I got home with it, I was hesitant to use it as well. The ingredients inside look different. The creme activator appears to be thinner and lesser of it. Also the perm cream in the jar has a pinkish color, instead of white.

When I used it, my hair felt so hard and stripped! It has never felt like this before!! I know you guys are going to “claim” that you didn’t change anything with the ingredients, but a customer like me, who has used something for 20 plus years, would know if there’s a difference about it.

Something is not right with it now. My hair was so hard and rough, but thankfully I had some Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner on hand. After I use your shampoo, I had to rewash my hair with the Pantene Pro-V shampoo and put conditioner on it to soften my hair up, just so I comb it!! I would never buy the product in this new looking box anymore.

I’m going to do all I can to see if I can find anybody that still have the old original looking box with the dark purple. Your new box looks cheaply done and the product is ABSOLUTELY horrible. I will NEVER buy this stuff again in your new cheap looking box!! Im gonna be sure to tell all my friends and family not to buy it either.

Get rid of whatever you all have done to the original Dark and Lovely perm relaxer. I have extremely long hair almost to my butt. I pray to God that this mess you all put in your “new box “, does not break my hair off!! I am highly disappointed in your product with the new box!! So disappointed to the extreme!.

I’ve used the Dark & Lovely relaxer for years. I detest going to the hair dresser/hair salon, so I learned to relax my hair at home. I used this new formula for the first time one week ago. I immediately noticed a difference in the “feel” of my hair.

This new 6-step process is easy on my hair. My only objection. WHERE are the after-relaxer products? How do you sell a relaxer and not the products needed to compliment the process, i. e. , the Recovery Shine Cream? Much to my chagrin after much searching, it was disappointing to find out that the Dark and Lovely Healthy-Gloss 5 w/Satin Oil Moisture Hair Creme has been discontinued.

And apparently, the newer Recovery Shine Cream 6 w/Coconut Oil is only available in the relaxer kit? Does that make sense? Such oversight will cost this company customers.

I’ve been relaxing my hair for years but the older I got the more sensitive my scalp became. All other relaxers would burn immediately and leave me with scabs and unrelaxed hair because it had to be washed out too quickly.

Once I started using Mizani Butter Blend Sensitive Scalp that all ended. It doesn’t burn my scalp and my hair is straightened and silky. I won’t use any other relaxer in my hair.

First thing, please be aware this is not a kit. It does not contain all items needed to perform a complete relaxer. It only has The base, activator and spatulas. You must purchase scalp protectant, conditioner to use prior to neutralizer and post relaxer conditioner and neutralizing shampoo.

Further, the products I received looked as if they had been buried in a desert. They were covered in tons of dust. Relaxer creme was shifted in jar, some on top seal as if sitting upside down.

This Mizani relaxer is absolutely amazing. The product instantly conditions and moisturized my hair relaxing it to absolute perfection. The product was well packaged by the seller and came earlier than expected.

I will continue to order from this seller. Due to the excellent price,value and packaging of the product.
